The Present's Waiting
Embracing Life's Twists: The Present's Waiting
Lyrics
My past is growing and future’s getting smaller
Reflecting on the aging of the past and the diminishing prospects of the future.
I’m running faster but the world’s getting farther
Expressing a sense of running or striving, yet feeling that the world is becoming more distant.
I never thought I’d make it this old without a moment of rest
Surprised to have reached an older age without experiencing a moment of relaxation or repose.
Still searching for death, and I’ve been doing my best.
Continuing the quest for meaning or purpose, possibly through risky endeavors.
My past is numbered and I keep it in line
Acknowledging the finite nature of the past and the effort to keep it in order.
I drink it backwards with a tall glass of wine
Metaphorically consuming the past, possibly with the numbing effects of alcohol.
I tell the new girl she didn’t mean that much to me, anyways
Downplaying the significance of a past relationship to a new partner.
Still living that daze, but hey ain’t it the craze?
Living in a state of confusion or haze, questioning the normative nature of such a lifestyle.
I’ll never tell my friends eXactly how I feel
Keeping personal feelings guarded and hidden from friends.
They’ve never understood and I know they never will
Recognizing a lack of understanding from friends about one's emotional state.
We’re all alone in there, dancing in our own little rooms
Highlighting the isolation of individuals, each absorbed in their own private worlds.
I drink a gallon to swoon
Using alcohol excessively, possibly as a coping mechanism or for escapism.
So I can howl at the moon
Expressing a desire to release inner emotions, symbolized by howling at the moon.
Swim along the lagoon
Immersing oneself in a serene and solitary environment, like a lagoon.
Sing my own little tune
Creating a personal and individualistic expression, possibly through music or self-reflection.
What the fuck am I doing?
Expressing confusion or questioning the purpose of current actions.
The past is over and the future’s never here,
Declaring the completion of the past and the elusive nature of the future.
The present's waiting for my head to get clear
Emphasizing the need for clarity in the present moment, suggesting a state of mental fog.
Sometimes I see it and you know I gotta smile, it’s true
Occasionally finding joy or contentment in the present, leading to a genuine smile.
She’s always good to you
Acknowledging the consistent goodness or reliability of an unnamed 'she.'
She always good to you
Reiterating the positive nature of the mentioned 'she.'
She always good to you
Continuing to emphasize the consistent positive impact of the unnamed 'she.'
She always good to you
Repeating the sentiment of the unnamed 'she' always being good to the individual.
She aways good to you
Reaffirming the enduring goodness of the unnamed 'she.'
